One is altruistic, akin to charity. It deliberately maximizes users’ rights to do anything they want with the software (freedom 0). I’m only in the lucky position I’m in now because of open source, and I want to push for more of that in the world with my wallet and my time.

I’m not going out of my way to support a commercial license. There are a million commercial blog platforms to choose from.
